Waiting for the storm, a photo from Girona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

Palamуs is situated at the northern end of a large bay, which is popular for swimming, sailing and windsurfing in central Costa Brava.

Palamos was founded and recognised as a village on 3 December 1279 by 'Pere el Gran', 'Comte de Barcelona'. He wanted to found a new port on the coast as the previous royal port in the region at Torroella de Montgrн on the River Ter had silted up.

The town is a major port with one of the last remaining fishing fleets on this part of the mediterranian coast. It is famous for the locally caught prawns (Gambes).

Hola Oriol!

Gran juego con la profundidad de campo, genial, el enfoque en primer plano arropado por el rojo del barco es excepcional.
Felicidades.
Manuel
